Book Description
Jesus said, “Tribulation or persecution arises because of the word” (Matthew 13:21, NKJV). This implies, while everyone has troubles, committed Christians have them for different reasons. “Because of the word” means we are learning God’s Word, living it, and spreading its saving light. “Christian difficulties” are adversities Satan sends to destroy our faith and usefulness to God. Yet God permits them to build Christian character—if we respond properly. Spiritual Truths for Overcoming Adversity explores the deep ministry of adversity, revealing God’s loving guidance and wise purposes in all our difficulties. Its biblical insights illuminate God’s path through every shadowy valley and help us stop fighting and start cooperating with God, so He can mature our faith, draw us nearer, and use us more fruitfully. Search this Word-light, and let it search you. Obey it, and it will change you. Share it, so it can shine through you! Book Review 1: "Words fail me to express how much the Lord spoke to me through this book . . . and comforted me and strengthened me and guided me to withstand my sufferings and adversities." -- Evangeline Spurgeon, India Book Review 2: "Using Scriptures, this book will teach you how to understand and overcome your spiritual battles. This book is full of Godly wisdom. I praise God for . . . using it to open my heart and mind to know how to overcome." -- E. Brennan

When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer
Author: Jerry L. Sittser
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310867061
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
More than a decade ago, Jerry Sittser prayed for the protection of his family, yet three of his loved ones--his daughter, his wife, and his mother--died in an automobile accident. What went wrong? "Why wasn't my prayer answered?" he asks. "It is no longer an abstract question to me. What should we do and how should we respond when our prayers--prayers that seem right and true and good--go unanswered?" In When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer, Sittser continues exploring the issues he addressed in A Grace Disguised. He asks, "Why doesn't God answer our prayers? What, if anything, can we do about it?" Sittser is intensely committed to exploring the Christian faith, especially when it doesn't seem to "work." In this thoughtful and beautifully written book, he moves beyond easy answers and religious formulas to explore the goodness and greatness of a God who cannot be controlled but can be trusted. When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer takes an honest and probing look at the problem of unanswered prayer. In doing so, it draws us ever deeper into a relationship with the God who is the end of all our prayers, the object of our faith, the one who fulfills our deepest longings.

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
